Chapter 316 Food Strategies

Across the sea, Office of Strategic Intelligence Analysis.

Johnson listened to the analyst's report with a face full of disappointment. He had lost interest in the specific content of what the other party said, and there was only one thought in his mind:
"We failed."

Yes, according to the plan he submitted before, the sailing activity of the three aircraft carrier formations should have been a demonstration to show off their own military strength, but unexpectedly, in the face of the opponent's determined fighting spirit, the group of officials actually retreated decision.

This retreat means that our side has retreated from the position of the world's number one military power.

And when will it be possible to climb back?

Nowhere in sight.

Why do you want to withdraw?Does the rabbit really dare to do it?

It was exactly the same situation last time on the sea farther south, and it is still the same this time, so next time... there will be no next time.

Once the next time occurs, I am afraid it will be time for one's own side to be desperate.

To make matters worse, just a few days after the retreat of our own aircraft carrier formation, you conveniently released a series of training videos of BCI-controlled mechanical exoskeletons. From the perspective of professionals, its performance far exceeds that of its own side.

They have what they have, and they have what they don't have.

Helmet-mounted fire control targeting system?Yes, it can track 32 targets at the same time, including armored targets, air targets and ground humanoid targets.

Mechanical integrated weapon stabilization system?Yes, it can be linked with the fire control radar to achieve a certain degree of automatic aiming, a living soldier 76.

Strong mounting capacity?Not to mention this, that rabbit is known for its lack of firepower, how could it be behind in this respect.

Movement flexibility? The reason why BCI is called BCI is because it is directly controlled by nerve electrical signals. The movement of the exoskeleton is completely synchronized with the movement of the body. Even if the force feedback control of one's own side is optimized to the extreme, it will never keep up with the flexibility of the other side.

Individual data link system?Not only that, but their data link is even integrated with the air and space, and even satellite strikes can be operated.

In addition to these, they also have things that their own side does not have, such as longer battery life, stronger strength, and more exaggerated explosive power. The operation of the 1.5-meter-high wall——From the commentary of the other party, the reason why he only jumped 1.5 meters is not because the exoskeleton can only jump to 1.5 meters, but because the wall is only 1.5 meters.

How high it can jump, no one knows.

But in any case, this exoskeleton has raised the quality of individual soldiers to an almost terrifying level. With a load close to 80 kilograms, it can also perform actions that elite soldiers can only do when they are completely unloaded. These people If it is placed on the battlefield to form a light infantry regiment, the combat effectiveness of the entire unit will immediately soar.

The release of this video caused intense discussions among professional military personnel. Although the shooting style of the video is still the rustic and unprofessional style of the other party’s official media as always, the amount of information contained in it is enough to make They were terrified.

How far have these eastern rabbits developed and how confident are they, that they will mercilessly launch a counterattack after each of their own moves?

The confrontation at sea is fine, and now even a single soldier exoskeleton does not let their own side show off, and in less than two months, they took out their similar equipment to fight in the face.

I really don't plan to save any face for myself.

The analyst in front of him was still reporting the latest progress, Johnson raised his hand to interrupt, and then said:

"There is no need to talk about the confrontation. It is meaningless. Failure is failure. This is a result we did not expect at all."

"Now, we have to focus on food, because this is our only chance to turn around."

"If there is another problem with this layout, then we will lose all our advantages. No matter how hard we try in the future, we will only be able to achieve a balance of power with the opponent. This is something I will never allow."

"I see!"

The analyst nodded hastily, but there was a faint look of disappointment in his eyes.

If you don't allow it, won't it appear?

Since you took office, it seems that every decision you have made has not made any good progress, right?Even if it is true that the opponent is too strong, it will not lose the biggest advantage like now.

if it was me
The analyst coughed slightly, retracted his thoughts and then reported:
"At present, our layout in Yindu has been fully launched. According to the plan, we have purchased 60% of the wheat in stock on the market and controlled most of the supply channels of downstream manufacturers."

"After that, we can control the supply of flour at any time and push up the price of downstream food."

"At that time, Yindu's local suppliers and Yindu's officials will do whatever it takes to promote the purchase of wheat, because they want to eat, but they don't have food in stock."

"Through this method, we can push the domestic market of Yindu to an extreme peak, and then pass this peak to the international market in turn."

"Then it is equivalent to using the hand of Yindu officials to drive up the price of wheat in the international market at a very small cost."

"Of course, we will also make some moves in the capital field, and the price of wheat futures will be further pushed up. At that time, spot futures prices will overlap, and the entire international market will fluctuate violently."

"Such fluctuations are definitely not something that the Huaxia family can resist. No matter how much food they store, it is impossible to supply the global food shortage that will occur, and it is impossible to make up for the global population and food imbalance by themselves."

"At that point, no matter what kind of propaganda they run, it will be impossible to quell the panic in the country, and we will add the final straw to their fears -- a large-scale wheat epidemic."

Hearing this, Johnson nodded slightly, and then said:

"I have two questions."

"First, does a global food gap really exist?"

"Second, does the wheat contagion you speak of exist? What is it?"

The analyst paused and replied:

"Let me answer your first question first."

"First of all, there is a global food gap. According to our estimates, based on normal food consumption standards, the global food gap is about 0.2% to 0.3%. This gap has caused 1.8 million people in the world to fall into starvation However, the state of starvation is not a complete gap, it just means that these people do not have enough to eat."

"Through humanitarian aid, loans, non-planting food access and other means, we can actually control the food gap within a relatively stable range every year. Some people have no food to eat, and some people cannot eat enough, but The vast majority of people will be fine."

"However, such a situation is not good for us to push up food prices and trigger a food crisis, so what we have to do is to expand the food gap to more than 0.3%, and the goal is to expand it to about 0.5%."

"Then, we need to use various publicity methods to convince everyone that the food gap has reached 2%."

"Finally, with the help of the real gap and what we call the 'psychological gap', a wave of grain hoarding will be triggered, and the amount of grain that can be uniformly allocated in the world, especially in China, will drop sharply, so as to achieve the purpose of truly pushing up food prices."

After listening to his words, Johnson nodded slightly and continued to ask:
"But the price of wheat is now up close to 35%, isn't that as good as we expected?"

"Of course not, because everyone knows that this 35% price increase is only caused by a short-term mismatch between supply and demand, and their confidence in food stability has not been hit."

"What we have to do is convince them that in the future, for a long time to come, we will face a permanent 2% food gap."

"That's how it can really hit them."

"understood."

Johnson silently wrote some content on the paper, and then continued to ask:

"What about wheat contagion? Is there?"

"No, Huaxia has always been very cautious in the prevention and control of this aspect—but we will make one up."

"What about the evidence?"

"Hire a few farmers who want to make money, shoot some videos, ask some experts to learn to speak, and show some plausible evidence. We don't need professionals to believe, we only need their ordinary people to believe."

"understood."

Johnson closed his notebook.

This is not the first time they have done something like this.

They are very skilled.

However, he still had a bad premonition in his heart.
